§ MR. HAYDEN (Leitrim, S.)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the Postmaster General has received a memorial drawing attention to the very unsatisfactory postal arrangements between Ballygar and Roscommon, which seriously inconvenience the carrying on of a considerable trade between those and other towns; whether it is a fact that it occupies the same length of time for a letter posted in Roscommon to reach Ballygar, the distance being only seven miles, or for one posted in Mount Talbot to reach Ballygar, the distance being only one mile, as it does for a letter to reach London from those places; and, whether the memorial suggests practicable means by which the present state of things can be remedied?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.), in reply, said, that the Memorial had been received as to the postal arrangements between Ballygar and Roscommon; but the Department had not yet had sufficient time to fully inquire into the matter.
